⚫️Under 9⚫️
This week was a chance to work as a team between festivals. Was great to see the kids putting what we practiced into our internal and a friendly match practice session.
Player of the day 🟡U9 Gold🟡 was Sid Gupta for getting stuck in to his first session with the squad and working hard on all aspects during the day.
Played of the day 🔴U9 Red🔴 was Kurt Luis Alfato for putting in to practice what we had been working on and finding space with his passes.
🔴U10🔴
They played with plenty of spirit and enthusiasm. POTD was Lucy van der Gulik, who made some brave tackles and blocks in both games.
💛U11 Gold💛
The kids worked hard all game, our POTD was Charlie Eastall, who displayed great skills, using strong positional play to make some great passes and scored a goal!
Wainuiomata selected Kiyaan Rajguru as our POTD, after he had a solid second half on attack and manage to score.
❤U11 Girls Only Red❤
Great passing, positional play and above all else, teamwork. POTD was Libby Harty for incredible ball control, hold up play and passing. Well done girls!
🖤U11 Girls Only Black🖤
POTD was Kayla Jacobson for her attacking play and putting pressure on the other team.
🔴U12 Red🔴
After a difficult opening Arthur was the fox in the box and put us ahead and we made hay going in. Really happy with attitude - many instances of our players showing commitment and resilience. Player of the day was Roger Jin who from goal led defensive effort and clean sheet.
💛U12 Gold💛
It was a tough game against Upper Hutt Condors who were well organized and committed. POTD was Senula Don who worked hard and played beautifully with a huge smile the whole time.
